Customizing Styles in Word Template
First when you try to customize the look of an element in the export document you should try to do it using Word's styling. For that open your customized copy of the template docx document, and adjust the styles there. That is done using Word's style dialogs. For example the following screenshots shows how to adjust the look of the "Heading 3" style in word. This is the style used when exporting the issue names and headings from Codebeamer. So in this example we're changing the color of the Heading 3 to orange:
The result when using this template will look like:

Now the question arise: how can I find which style to adjust in the template? This is can be found out by opening an exported_ document, and then:
1. Click on the little style button to open styles.
2. Click on open style inspector button on the styles dialog. Then the style inspector should appear.
3. Keep the style inspector open, and inside the document click on the part you want to find out which Word style is being used. The style inspector will show the Word style used there.
The next screenshot shows this, and from that it turns out the HTML links are appearing using the Hyperlink style. This is the style should be adjusted in the template if you want a different look for these elements.
